The broader 3MK project aimed to develop a multiple evidence base methodology combining systematic review approaches with documentation of Indigenous and local knowledge and applied this approach in a study of the impacts of metal mining and impacts of mitigation measures. This systematic map aimed to answer the question:

What research evidence exists on the impacts of metal mining and its mitigation measures on social and environmental systems in Arctic and boreal regions?
